creak..
'I have found it!
'good job sensei..
Kiara opened a door that was hidden because it was covered in moss while Akira cringed because he had to call Kiara his sensei even though Kiara's face and body were the same as his age
and that also broke Akira's sense of dignity who was the same age as Kiara
tap..tap
'sensei.. what is this place really for?
'this place is actually an old labyrinth built by a legendary sage to train the empire's soldiers once upon a time during the era of the demon king's invasion
'so basically this place has a lot of monsters?
'of course, but this monster was guarded by a sage in the past so that this monster wouldn't come out and threaten the empire
'so..how about now?
'of course this place is now a mess and most likely the monsters of the labyrinth have long escaped or killed each other
'so this place is dangerous for us..
'don't worry child, because I am the strongest..
'are you kidding right now?
Kiara said that calmly while Akira just swallowed when he heard the word monster from Kiara's mouth
Akira was traumatized when he met the minotaur in the hidden dungeon of the Arcania forest, so he decided not to meet the monster again
if it wasn't for the presence of Karina the main character, of course Akira's life would have been long gone due to the lack of plot armor in the main character's story
he is just an additional character who just passes by in Karina's story, so of course he also needs luck from the main character
************
after walking for some time they both began to see the big door from a distance
'tap..tap
they both approached the door
'This door is bigger than the previous one
'it is possible that this door is the door to the dungeon boss room
'dungeon boss?
'yeah? why? scared?
'....'
Kiara teases Akira who is fluttering next to her
Akira isn't someone who has great strength like Kiara, so it's normal for Akira to be afraid of monsters like dungeon bosses
'sensei doesn't even have a sword! so why want to go in empty handed? at least we do the preparation right?
'as I said, don't worry because I am the strongest..
'uh..no matter how strong you are, you were once defeated and sealed by thousands of wizard..
Kiara said that calmly and confidently while Akira just whispered in annoyance
'what did you just say again?
'nothing..
Kiara who vaguely heard Akira's whisper asked with a confused expression while Akira just gave up
***********
creak..
the sound of the big door was heard throughout the room because of the silence and darkness in the room
they both entered the room filled with darkness
tap..tap
The sound of their footsteps filled the room
whoosh..
and soon the room began to be lit with torches around the room magically and they both began to see a figure in front of them sitting on a throne
'that..
'...'
Akira who saw the figure in front of him was just sweating while Kiara remained relaxed with the situation
[King of the orc tribe]
An king of orc is a legendary monster typically depicted as a large, hideous, man-like being that eats ordinary human beings, especially infants and children.
Rooaaarrr!
chick! chick!
the orc king started shouting as if calling his army to surround Akira and Kiara in the room
chick!
soon a horde of orcs started running towards Kiara and Akira to attack them simultaneously
'aahhh-haa...
Kiara who saw that just yawn and made a relaxed expression while Akira looked panicked
'sensei don't relax anymore, quickly finish the monster while I want to see your swordsmanship
The frightened Akira began to plead with Kiara to kill all the monsters by shaking Kiara's body vigorously
'tch..you are not fun at all,alright!
'come Zenarith!
Kiara said that and a bright blue sword appeared in her hand and she began to perform a stunt
'sensei just hurry up!
Akira hid behind Kiara and began to pressure Kiara to attack
'be patience my disciple! hurgh!
Kiara began to calm herself and Kiara began to gather all her energy in the sword
'sword energy!
whoosh!
chick? chick!
Kerchak!
Booom!
Kiara swung her sword and cut down all the orcs including the orc king causing all the bodies of the orcs to shreds
'huh?
'huf!
Kiara's sword swing produced a pink colored energy that caused the walls of the room to crack
Akira who saw that was just shocked and rubbed his eyes repeatedly as if he couldn't believe it while Kiara just took a deep breath
'how is it my disciple?
'sensei..Your sword swing is very strong!
'The swing of the sword was not as strong as when I was serious..
Kiara said that with a calm expression while Akira just made a shocked expression
'so what happens when sensei gets serious?
'It's possible that I can destroy the mountain
'.....'
Akira bowed before Kiara when he heard that statement and suddenly
'sensei..please help me to be a strong person..i want to achieve my ambition
'huh?
Akira bowed down to Kiara's feet while pleading while Kiara was only surprised by Akira's drastically changed behavior
Akira is not serious about learning with Kiara, who looks the same age as him, but when Akira sees Kiara's strong sword swing, Akira wants to become stronger by learning the art of swordsmanship with Kiara.
what Akira wants is power, so he will continue to seek it even if his dignity is at stake in order to fulfill Zuri's wishes
because that is the purpose of Akira's life right now
without that purpose, Akira will just die a silly death without fighting for something
and now Akira gets two gains in one ability like throwing a stone straight at two birds in the same time
Akira was able to become strong with the help of his sensei Kiara and fulfill his life's purpose in one go
Akira, who was still bowing down, made an angry and dark expression while thinking about it in his mind while Kiara just smiled widely when she found that Akira had started to get serious about learning swordsmanship
'I gladly accept your request Zuko..
'thank you very much sensei..
Kiara smiled widely while Akira who saw that started to make a smiling face but actually the truth is..he just forced to..
